Tokyo Game Show 2016 starts on September 15 and today, Square Enix has granted us with their lineup. Square's lineup features some goodies, but games noticeably absent here are Kingdom Hearts III, Dragon Quest XI, and the Final Fantasy VII remake. Final Fantasy XV, NieR: Automata, and World of Final Fantasy are the ones to watch out for here. For those lamenting over the absent games, Kingdom Hearts III is scheduled to have new information released this winter and Nomura stated that more information for Final Fantasy VII once World of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts 2.8 drop. As for Dragon Quest XI, well I can't help you there. Tokyo Game Show 2016's venue will be at the Makuhari Messe in Tokyo, Japan. For the full list of games to appear check the list below.

On the most recent Dissidia stream, Square Enix revealed a new title for the Final Fantasy series, Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia. This title is a spinoff of a spinoff, departuring from the fighting game aspect of the Dissidia Final Fantasy series with turn-based RPG action. The UI and battle animations are in the style of the Dissidia fighting games, making them just a bit too garish and flashy for me. The game includes characters never before seen in the Dissidia series like XIII's Sazh,VIII's Seifer, Fujin, and Raijin, and Type-0's Rem Tokimiya. Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia will be coming to iOS and Android sometime this year in Japan only. You can check out the reveal trailer below and the game's website here.

Today, Final Fantasy XV's official Youtube channel released a video showcasing the voice actors of some of the main characters of the game. After much speculation, the official voices have finally been revealed (with Kari Wahlgren, the voice of Ashe from FFXII returning as Aranea Highwind, though she isn't featured in the video).

Each of the actors soeajs about what makes their characters compelling to work with, and what the overall impression that Final Fantasy XV made on them was. Click on the video below to check them out for yourself!

What are your thoughts on the voice actors and their respective talents? Do you think they fit what we know of the characters so far? (Personally, the reveal that Matthew Mercer was playing the role of Cor Leonis made my inner fangirl squee.)

So Final Fantasy XV has been delayed. Again. With a tangible release date this time, thankfully! Tune in to the latest episode of Final Fantasy Talks where Psychotic and I discuss our thoughts on this recent pushback!

The recent announcement of Final Fantasy XV's two-month delay was met with a mixed reception. Many people are glad that we will be getting a more polished product, but others have become so fed up with waiting that their hope for the product has started waning again.

Apparently, some have even turned to the competition for comfort!

A while ago Square Enix provided their users with a poll, asking whether they were more interested in Persona 5 or Final Fantasy XV. The reasons were speculated to be either the similar release period (with Persona 5 having a Japanese release planned just two weeks before Final Fantasy XV) or the Persona series' increased prominence in recent years, especially among JRPG enthusiasts who have long been Final Fantasy's core user base, some of whom have begun to felt more and more alienated by the real-time action RPG combat and more of a move to science fiction than fantasy.

Square Enix released new renders of various characters from the upcoming Final Fantasy XV game (due out November 29 world-wide on the Playstation 4 and XBox One). Here we see the dudes, Noctis, Ignis, Gladiolus, and Prompto. We also get a good look at King Regis, Noctis' father, with another older gentleman rumored to be an aged Noctis. For the first time we see full renders of Luna and Gentiana. There's also the Niflheim's Chancellor Ardys, plus we finally get to clearly see the face of Aranea Highwind without her helmet.

During E3, an impressive video of a boss battle was shown exhibiting the fast paced action and the enemy design. Nier: Automata will also be coming to PlayStation 4 and is scheduled to release in 2017.

Final Fantasy has been postponed for another two months, until November 29th. Whether this is good news or bad is up to the fans. The team has stated that this release date change is them wanting to avoid releasing a first day patch as they feel the game is not up to the standard it should be.

Oh, Square Enix, when will you stop teasing us with all these Chibi AF monster videos? Probably when we get closer to Final Fantasy XV's release date (September 30 Worldwide). Yet again they've released another set of monster videos, promoting the upcoming World of Final Fantasy, set for release on the Playstation 4 and Vita October 25 in North America, 27 in Japan, and 28 in Europe. Until then, here are videos of Sharksame, Doukobito, Fenrir, and Behemoth.

During a livestream today, Square Enix released two new trailers today emphasizing on the game's aesthetics with a stage trailer and a costumes trailer.

Each of the revealed characters alternates costumes are shown and most of them carry on the same ones seen in Duodecim, but notably Lightning wears her Lightning Returns outfit, newcomer Y'sholta sports a white robe, and Ramza dons his mercenary armor.

The stage trailer reveals Final Fantasy XIV's first stage for the series, Porta Decumana. Porta Decumana is the arena where the final battle takes place in the 2.0 version of A Realm Reborn.

The villain side in this game has been relatively sparse, but we're sure to see more until the release of the game for PlayStation 4, which at this moment, the date is still undisclosed.
